Philips zoom how to use
Philips Zoom whitening should be used only according to the exact kit instructions and a dentist’s plan after checking the teeth and gums.
The short answer
Philips Zoom uses peroxide gel to oxidise stain molecules in enamel and dentine. Tray design, concentration, exposure time, and light protocol vary by product.
How should the gel contact teeth while protecting gums?
Gel must contact teeth evenly while gums are protected. It changes natural teeth, not crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding.
How should you use the whitening tray or applicator?
Use the supplied tray or applicator as directed, keep gel off gums, and never extend wear time, add gel, or mix products.
When should you stop whitening and seek dental advice?
Stop and seek advice for marked gum burning, significant sensitivity, swelling, or an unexpected reaction.
What should you ask about gel strength and tray use?
Ask which product and concentration you have, how much gel to use, and how restorations and sensitivity will be managed.
